And since obesity is a costly condition that can reduce quality of life and increases the risk for many serious chronic diseases and premature death.

Evidence: Child Obesity Linked to Early Death, Before Age 55
Obesity responsible for more than – 100,000 cases of cancer per year
Childhood obesity – linked to stiff arteries
- linked to fewer “pleasure” receptors
- linked to poor school performance
- linked to more liver disease than alcohol :O
- linked to lower testosterone levels
- early puberty in young girls
Teen Obesity – Linked to Later Multiple Sclerosis
- increases risk of coronary heart disease and stroke
- increases the risk of developing osteoarthritis (a degeneration of cartilage and its underlying bone within a joint)
- increases risk of Alzheimer’s disease
- Diabetes
- Dyslipidemia
- Sleep apnea and respiratory problems
- High blood pressure
- can increase the risk of dementia up to 80%
- Gynecological problems
- increases risk of Fibromygalia
- linked to sexual Dysfunction
- linked to lower sperm count
– increased risk of many cancers

- breast cancer
- endometrial cancer
- colorectal cancer
- ovarian cancer
- gallbladder
- aggressive prostate cancer
- pancreatic cancer
- esophageal cancers
- kidney cancer

Obesity = brain shrinkage = stupidity ….

Imagine how stupid America will be….

“The researchers found that all of these OBESITY indicators were inversely
associated with total brain volume – that is, the higher any indicator was, the SMALLER THE BRAIN VOLUME -
and that the association between abdominal fat and brain volume was the strongest of all.
Waist-to-hip ratio was also found to be associated with increased temporal horn volume,
independently of other obesity indicators.
The temporal horn is a part of the ventricular system; its volume is known to increase with age,
and in conditions such as Alzheimer’s Disease, depression and schizophrenia.
Enlargement of the temporal horn invariably involves a reduction in the volume of temporal lobe structures such as
the hippocampus, and thus is closely associated with MEMORY IMPAIRMENTS.

Cancer
“Fat cells produce estrogen, which are now known to be a factor in breast cancer and endometrial cancer.
Fatty tissue also affects the way the body metabolizes insulin,
which can alter how sugar is processed and how it ultimately gets to cells.

Fatty tissue, also known as adipose tissue, produces hormones on its own that could play a role in promoting cancer cells.
It also has been shown to produce chronic, low-grade inflammation in the body.

I personally think that people who ask the same question three times in five minutes should be dragged away from their computer and to the gym. Maybe that will help.

He used to call me on the telephone every night and we talked for about three to four hours (not always about my church) and I was getting very annoyed.

He also has had for many years:

Congestive heart failure
Severe asthma
Cellulitis of the legs
Sleep apnea
Obesity (well over 300 pounds)

Given all these conditions at once, how has he survived for so long unless it’s for the reason I stated? Since 2002 he had kept telling me his time was “short” until two years ago. He has stopped telling me that because he knows I won’t believe him anymore. Am I wrong in being skeptical about his sicknesses and thinking he is either a hypochondriac or being deceived by an evil spirit.

Answer by Sgt. Sarcasm
He is definitely hypochondriac. It’s a mental illness of a sorts. He is not being deceived by an evil spirit. He is just trying to get attention with these so called “messages from god”. Either that or he is insane.

I’m very passionate & love sex and intimacy (in my 40’s). This has nothing to do with ’spicing’ it up.

We haven’t had sex or any real affection for 11 months. It breaks my heart. We love each other, but we now have a ’sweet room-mate’ type relationship. There is little intimacy from him (he doesn’t like to talk much). I’ve been more than compassionate and patient.

It turns out he has sleep apnea, which has contributed to his feeling so exhausted. He just started treatment.

Since we never had that ‘great love affair’, I don’t know if it’s his illness, or if I am hanging on to false hopes he is the man for me.

I’m depressed. I wanted so much more in a relationship. He has shown little interest in me, but is so kind in other ways, it’s confusing because he always wants to be near me.

Answer by Randy M
You gave it a good shot. I’d say it’s time to call this quits. It might be his illness, it might not be.

However, the fact is, your needs are not being met. And he seems to have stated that he does not plan on ever meeting those needs. You owe it to yourself to find someone who can.

. It is a little bit price-y but hey if you know of someone who can’t sleep and you they have that sleep apnea and are at risk for even death then the price should be covered by insurance I think. Any one know if it is covered by insurance? What do you think of the new device to stop snoring? Sounds like a good idea to me, if anyone has gets more information please tell me. Thanks

My mother is verbally abuseive to me. Meaning for no reason she will just start cussing me. Last year was a mess I had a stillborn and she was actually laughing at my grief. making fun of me telling me oh look at me let me feel sorry for myself I lost a blob. yes she said blob. The baby was alittle girl and a stillbirth.

Anyway i do not really want them to come. Glad that they want to be there but i know it is more added stress to me I have lupus. I am married. And my husband is wonderful. How can i stand up to my parents and say in a nice way look i do not want you to come. Even though i am married and 36 years old they both treat me like a child. My parents are very controling.

Also if something were to happen to my daughter i do not think i want them there. She is only four and they have made fun of her many times. And not in a loving way. my mother tells me all the time of how she is allowed to have her favorite grand children.
She will get the first two something and sit and laugh at my daughter and say no you do not need anything..
My mother has even said well i feel sorry for the first two. they need me. The other one isnt even yours? I am a female how can she not be mine? she was at her birth. In my mothers mind she isnt mine?
And she has also told me the other two were cute. (they were from a first marriage)
my daughter is from a second marriage.
My mom will yell at my daughter for no reason. She is four and fell on some ice and my mother said stop that crying right now. your nothing but a big ole’ girl. and when my daughter says bye memaw i love you my mother will not say anything back. the child will repeat and my mom will say ok go now.

Your mother is abusing your child so Im wondering why you allow her around your children at all. It is your job to protect your children from abuse. You need to develop a backbone and tell her to get lost.

You asked can a cpap pillow be made. The answer is yes. Link below with steps.

What would you like suggested? Something comfortable to sleep in? Honestly a cpap mask is not a toy and not to modified in my opinion. There are enough modified versions on the market I am not sure anymore can be created. Than again I’m no techy and not an expert.
